Pansari’s 100% Pure Clove Oil (Roghan e Laung)

Clove is an evergreen tree, which produces a flower bud that has numerous medicinal properties. It is often referred to as clove bud. It has a shaft and a head and hence, has the Latin name clavus, meaning nail. Clove was extensively used in ancient Indian and Chinese civilizations and it spread to other parts of the world, including Europe, during the seventh and eighth centuries. Even now, clove is used widely in several Indian and Chinese cuisines.

Clove is rich in minerals such as calcium, hydrochloric acid, iron, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, and vitamin A, and vitamin C.

The health benefits of clove oil can be attributed to its antimicrobial, antifungal, antiseptic, antiviral, aphrodisiac, and stimulating properties. This oil is used for treating a variety of health issues including skin issues, toothache, indigestion, cough, asthma, headache, stress, and blood impurities. The most important and common use of clove oil is in dental care. Several toothpastes, mouthwashes, and oral care medications contain this oil as an important ingredient.

Dental Care:

The characteristic smell of this oil also helps to eliminate bad breath. Clove is also effective against cavities, and traditionally, every day before going to sleep, clove oil was added to a small cotton ball and put at the end of the tooth which had a cavity. The cavity would vanish in a few days. As a result, clove oil is added to numerous dental products and medications, including mouthwashes and toothpastes. Dentists also mix clove oil with zinc oxide to prepare a white, filling material as a temporary alternative to a root canal.
